Lube plate
Question: when using a lube plate, doesn't it prevent the pin from come down further in the hitch? Does it affect how well the pin can be wrapped by the hitch mechanism?

Here is the way I look at lube plates. They were invented because folks didn't want to grease the tops of their hitch plates. The grease makes the tops of the plates dirty.
If my hitch manufacturer designed mine for use with a lube plate then it would have been included in my paperwork and I would have been instructed to use it instead of grease.
With that line of thinking, how do you empty your black & grey tanks, hook up your cable TV or change a spare tire as the manufacturer didn't provide a sewer hose, coax cable or lug nut wrench.
Yep, when I got my new FW, the sales person gave me a boxed starter kit, full of cheap goodies. Sewer hose, water hose, 15amp adapter plug, toilet paper, and a few other little items.
I asked if I needed to get the hitch plate disc off from my trade-in. He said no, we provide a new one of those as well.
I must have paid too much!:E
